    i mean sure if you want to describe it as that, but diet culture and fatphobia as a whole is primarily used by capitalism as a way to make money.

    if you just love yourself a little more, you can buy this product to “feel confident in your own skin” and not mind the haters. dont forget to buy specialized products to care for your extra special fat body. and especially dont forget you have to diet! buy this specialized diet food, these overpriced weight loss drugs, dont forget to get that surgery for tens of thousands of dollars! and if you dont? no medical care for you!

    honestly this comment feels very bad faith all things considered. what is the purpose? “haha gotcha this terminology is technically incorrect so your argument is moot”

      In modern times, yes, but fat phobia also goes back to pre-capitalist times since it is a product of patriarchal beauty standards.

      But I am not saying that your argument is moot. Your argument is correct on the harms of fat phobia. And I guess there wasn’t much purpose to my comment. It’s just terminology.
